Say one sentence describing something beautiful they see in a day scene and one sentence about a night scene.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Using a conversational poster of the sources of light depicting day and night, guide learners to identify the natural and artificial sources. Have learners describe the beauty of the day and night scenes. Have learners connect the lights on the posters to those found in their environment focusing on natural and manmade lights. Guide learners group and count the sources of light in each group and compare them using comparative language. Extend this activity to include additions and subtractions
